Wolves legend joins the Sportingbet team

Sportingbet are delighted to welcome former England international and Wolves hero, Steve Bull, to the team as we continue to keep a close eye on Wolves' return to the Premiership. Drawing on a playing career spanning more than 16 years, Steve's experience and analysis will give us a real insight into the football world as the season’s twists and turns unfold.

Bully's news and views

Bully on David Beckham...

“I always say things happen for a reason but it’s horrible for him. It would have been superb for him to go to his fourth World Cup, a real milestone that not many people will ever achieve, but he’s a big character and he’ll have to accept this can happen in football.

I’m not entirely sure he would have gone anyway so the speculation about whether he’ll be missed is pointless in my view. If I was in his shoes I’d get myself right, carry on playing for LA Galaxy but just chill out and enjoy life.”

Bully on Phil Brown’s sacking...

“It’s been a long time coming to be honest. He’s been under a lot of stress and strain with results not going Hull’s way.

I don’t think it will impact too much on the relegation battle because the players still have to play for themselves and the club. It’s up to them to rally round and do it for the club now Iain Dowie is in charge.”

Bully's Tips - Score Predictions


Aston Villa 1-1 Wolves

Wolves have certainly been buoyed by the win at Burnley last weekend and I can see them relishing another trip into claret and blue territory.

What I can’t see is them coming from behind, so I’ll be hoping Kevin Doyle can edge the lads in front at 8/1 with Villa grabbing their equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw at the same price. Click here to bet

 
Stoke 1-3 Spurs

Everyone talks about how tough it is to go to the Britannia Stadium but this is the sort of game Spurs need to find a way to win if they’re going to seal that fourth-place finish.

Stoke’s home record has been less intimidating recently, with just two wins in their last six, so back Spurs to come away with a 3-1 win, priced 18/1, with that man Defoe to keep on rolling with another goal at any time (6/5). Click here to bet

 
Everton 2-0 Bolton

Bolton have been hugely unpredictable, losing 4-0 at Sunderland before dishing out the same punishment to Wigan at the weekend.

Coupled with Everton’s resurgence, their away form won’t stand the up to the test at Goodison Park, so I’m tipping Arteta to score first (8/1) in a 2-0 home win (6/1). Click here to bet

 
Portsmouth 3-0 Hull

New manager or not, Hull haven’t won away from home all season so I’m going to back my hunch for the 3-0 footballing lesson at Fratton Park.

Portsmouth aren’t as bad a side as their points total suggests, so join me in tipping that 20/1 shot along with Frederic Piquionne to notch first at 5/1. Click here to bet

 
Sunderland 1-1 Birmingham

Sunderland’s mini-revival has seen them pull away from the relegation zone and I think they’ll pick up another point against Birmingham this weekend.

Darren Bent to score first at 7/2 looks a tempting bet to me, with the 1-1 draw available at 5/1, and if you fancy that order of play – you’d best snap up the 28/1 on offer for the two combined! Click here to bet

 
Wigan 2-2 Burnley

Both these teams have been leaking goals for fun of late and I see the trend continuing at the DW Stadium.

I’d love to see Wigan win and put further distance between Wolves and Burnley, but I think the 2-2 draw at 18/1 is the best bet. Top that up with 7/4 on Burnley to score first and I reckon you’ll be laughing by full-time. Click here to bet

 
Arsenal 2-1 West Ham

I thought Arsenal would thump Hull last week but it proved a far closer affair, but while I’m learning from the experience, I’m still expecting a narrow Gunners victory.

Andrey Arshavin has got on the scoresheet regularly this season so back him to be the first goalscorer for the second straight game at 7/2, with a 2-1 scoreline set to pay 17/2. Click here to bet

 
Man United 1-2 Liverpool

This could be a dream weekend for Arsenal if my gut feeling is right, because I think Liverpool will raise their game at Old Trafford to repeat last year’s success.

You can get 4/1 on them just to win the match, while the 2-1 scoreline I fancy is a hefty 16/1. Click here to bet

 
Fulham 1-2 Man City

Fulham are usually strong at home but Man City showed some grit to drag a point back from the Stadium of Light last week. I think they can win 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

That result pays 17/2 if you’re with me, while my money will also be backing Joleon Lescott to get one of the goals at 8/1. Click here to bet

 
Blackburn 2-1 Chelsea

I think this is going to be a huge weekend in the title race, as having tipped Arsenal all year, I’m going to stick to my guns (no pun intended!) and bet on an upset in this one.

Chelsea will still be devastated from their Champions League exit and I’m not sure they’re up for the battle at Ewood Park, so I’m going with David Dunn to open the scoring (11/1) in a 2-1 upset (20/1). Click here to bet
